UK Vogue July 2012 : Rachel Weisz by Alasdair McLellan

I love this. Perfect way to showcase a very beautiful and thoughtful woman, instead of going the usual route and piling tonnes of makeup, sequins, hair spray and ruffles on to her.

I love Rachel shes very beautiful but this cover just doesnt say Vogue to me. Excited for Karens edit though!

This is what they do with Rachel? Seriously? I won't even mention the hand...

 

[t-rex]

Her arm and hand look strange, like the puppet arms used for that keyboard cat. I can't take my focus way from it.

 

[HeatherAnne]

I give them credit for trying something "outside of the box" but unfortunately, it's a little too Ladies Home Journal looking for me.

 

[Bobby153]

Seems kind of a dull cover for this time of year....
And really “life begins at 40”? slightly presumptuous, no?

The feature with the beautiful Mrs Bloom is the only thing getting me excited for this issue. Wish they had given her the cover...

VOGUE UK starts its revolution.

Rachel is so beautiful and it shows on this cover! I just wish her hand wasn't used as a prop and it would have been nicer if they had selected a lighter shade or blue for her top.

 

[ALAUU]

It's odd, but as beautiful as Rachel is I don't find her to be very photogenic. There's always something off with her covers, but I still think she's a beauty.

It looks awful...British Vogue were really hitting it out of the park since the December 2011 issue (maybe minus Arizona's god-awful cover), and then this hit my Twitter feed earlier and I almost cried...

At least she's wearing a Céline sweater...

 

[Northern Star]

Much as I like and admire Rachel and much as I want to like the cover, I'm not so impressed. She certainly doesn't look her best here.
That said, it is very colourful, love the pensive look and she actually looks her age. Light on the photoshop also, so kudos for that.

 

[YoninahAliza]

I rather like the cover, but maybe I'm being a bit biased because I think Rachel is awesome. That said, I think it would have been a better cover if they had chosen a picture where her hand wasn't positioned like that, it's a bit odd. It's a more subdued cover after last month's glamourous cover with Kate but I think the juxtaposition works.

 

[thiago:)]

Her expression is quite serious for my taste but I really like the cover image, it definitely works.

 

[charlieandmarie]

I love the colors, but do agree that it would be the perfect fall cover.

 

[Mchunu]

I like how thoughtful she looks.

Hmm..I would have never thought of that as the face of thoughtfulness. To me she looks like a housewife, waiting to be walked all over. If anything, that's the face of passiveness. (But I think my interpretation is out of too much reading of feminist texts)

 

[Deleted member 1957]

very boring cover only the model saves it

 

[tigerrouge]

At first, I thought she was lying on a carpet, but I see it's a sun-lounger.

I just hope the 'age issue' isn't an excuse to be staid and dull throughout the pages, because a mix of moods and styles would be nice, a 'thoughtful' cover shot and some thrilling content.

 

[Bertrando3]

she looks beautiful but it does nothing for the cover: she is just looking at us with no feeling or pose or smile or anger or anything, she is there there being blank. It's not good for a cover and when you see her previous Vogue covers, you can clearly see that those were better than this.

 

[alonsoJonathan]

ugh first thing in my mind when i saw it! what a ugly font Colors! dont like them at all

 

[Rotex]

i like it; a rather different theme to most of vogue us covers
